Within Staff Report PD-101-85, acknowledging the application, Staff noted that the file had been circulated to various agencies and Town departments for their comments. The following departments, in reviewing the application, provided no objections. 1 . Town of Newcastle Fire Department 2. Town of Newcastle Building Department 3. Town of Newcastle Works Department 4. Town of Newcastle Community Services Department 5. Ontario Hydro 6. Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority 7. Region of Durham Health Unit Staff note that the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, in responding, stated that "in consideration of the terms and goals and objectives of the Ministry and the criteria and policies outlined in the Foodland Guidelines, the Ministry has no objections to the proposal ". The Regional Planning Department, in responding, noted that the subject lands are designated "Residential" in both the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Bowmanville Urban Area Plan. Furthermore, noting that municipal water supply and sanitary sewer services are not available to the site and the Region haqs no plans within the Capital Budget to extend services to this area. The development, as a result, may only proceed on private services in accordance with Section 3.1.3.1 of the Durham Regional Official Plan. It is anticipated that the Region' s detailed requirements will be dealt with through the Land Division process". - Within Staff' s comments, the policies and provisions of the appropriate Official Plan documents will be examined further. . . .3 REPORT NO. : PD-131-85 Page 3 Staff would note that the Ministry of Transportation and Communication, in responding verbally on August 29, 1985, expressed that although they do have concern over the addition of two new entrances on to Highway No. 2, being a "lower profile highway", the Ministry has not taken a firm position, in the past, such that new applications for entrances be refused. STAFF COMMENTS: As confirmed by Regional Staff, the subject lands are designated "Residential" within the Durham Regional and Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plans. Within the Region's response to Staff, reference is made only to the servicing aspects applicable to the application. Staff would note that, in addition, Sections 16.9.11, 16.9.12, and 13.2.4 are applicable and due consideration of same in the review of the application as submitted is warranted. Section 16.9.11 states that "generally, the creation of lots fronting on arterial roads shall be discouraged. However, the provisions of Section 13.2.14 shall be used as guidelines". Section 13.2.14 states: "The maximum number of private accesses to Type A arterial roads shall generally be as follows and regard shall be had to the provisions of Section 13.3.3: a) 2 access points per side per mile in rural areas; and; b) 600 feet between adjacent access points in urban areas." Staff note that Section 13.3.3 as addressed above, reaffirms the provisions of 13.2.14 in that they shall generally apply to arterial roads shown on Map "B", but if the intent of this Plan is adhered to and following adequate study to the effect, that such provisions are impractical and cannot be implemented precisely, the authority having jurisdiction on such roads may alter the provisions without amendment to this Plan. Staff would . . .4 REPORT NO.: PD-131-85 Page 4 note that the subject property is located within "Neighbourhood 3C" as designated in the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan for which a Neighbourhood Development Plan has yet to be prepared. Staff note that among other items of concern, the question of access on to arterial roads, mentioned in the Regional Plan - Section 13.3.3, would be addressed in the review and preparation of a Neighbourhood Plan. Accordingly, Staff are of the opinion that the approval of additional entrances in view of Section 13.3.3, would be premature at this time, inasmuch as "adequate study" has not been completed. Section 16.9.12 within the Regional Plan provides for similar consideration that, where having regard for the provision of this Plan, an access to an arterial road is considered necessary and appropriate. Such access may be constructed in accordance with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. It is Staff' s opinion that, in view of the provisions of the Regional Official Plan as noted, the approval of the rezoning application to permit two (2) additional residential lots would be premature and would prejudice the future development of a Neighbourhood Development Plan for Neighbourhood 3C as denoted in the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan. Furthermore, Staff would note that the appropriate provisions within the Bowmanville Plan would substantiate the Regional policies . . . . Section 2.9.2iv)a) and c) . . . a) Arterial roads shall primarily facilitate inter- area or through traffic within the Regional Muni ci pal i ty of Durham and the munici pal i ty. . . c) In maintaining the traffic carrying functions of arterial roads, the provisions of the Durham Regional Official P1&,i shall apj)ly— . , Secti�)n 2,1-2iv)a) states that low density residential s!iall ho generally located At try=� of tine residential neighbourhoods on local or collector roads. . . .5 REPORT NO. : PD-131-85 Page 5 Accordingly, and in consideration of the comments noted within this report, it is Staff' s opinion that the approval of the rezoning application would not be in the best interests of good planning would be premature and could prejudice the future development of Neighbourhood 3C as denoted within the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan. ectful fitted, T.T.
